Dining Partnership

In 2014, the University began a transformative partnership with Aramark to revitalize the dining services on campus. Better food, more reasonably priced and healthier options along with significant investments and upgrades in the facilities where our students, faculty and staff eat — those are the kinds of guaranteed investments this partnership represents. 

“Aramark is proud to partner with the University of Kentucky to transform their student experience and environment as part of our mission to enrich and nourish lives,” said Mark Nelson, president of Aramark’s Higher Education business. “We look forward to achieving that goal together with UK Dining’s employees and the Kentucky Proud program through local sourcing, offering nutrition and wellness initiatives, as well as introducing exciting new retail brands.”
